Witt Breaks All-Time Assist Record as OE wins 61-10
Senior Erin Witt will hoist her name on to the record board for the second time as her five assists broke the all-time record previously held by Kayla Galecka. Last year Witt broke the single-season record.
"I'm so happy for Erin and so proud of her effort. She has put in so much work to get her to this point and her teammates were genuinely happy for her," Head Coach Ryan Cunningham said. "This was a nice team win where a lot of kids contributed tonight."
Caitlyn Walter and Kylee Sevenski led the Lady Marauders (2-1, 1-0) with 12 points each while Lauren Barton added a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Witt also had 8 points and 9 rebounds to go along with her 5 assists.
Kennedy Haynes, Josie Nash and Kierah Darling each added 4 points, Micayla Coleman 3 points, Madison Cunningham 2 points and Kylie Visger 1 to round out the scoring for OE.
The Lady Marauders will host league foe and powerhouse Byron on Tuesday night.
